A Midwest morning October snowfall She packed her Chevrolet And she brushed the fear away She's got a great big dream And a history of playing small And everybody seems to think She'll be back before Christmas day She hit that highway With every ounce of faith she could summon When courage finally comes You never see it coming Right outta nowhere You open your heart And that changes everything You're going somewhere And all you need to know Is that you're free to go A summer night The soft smell of seashore All the deadheads dancing Out on the beach He's got a ten-year tan And his own little junk store He says, some people got a lot to prove And that's the way I used to be Now I'm just an old hippie With a half a dozen PhDs Some choices hold you down Some chances set you free Right outta nowhere You open your heart And let go of everything You're going somewhere And all you need to know Is that you're free to go Dream and the way will be clear Pray and the angels will hear Leap and the net will appear Right outta nowhere You open your heart And believe in everything You're going somewhere And all you need to know Is that you're free Right outta nowhere You open your heart And have faith in everything You're going somewhere And all you need to know Is that you're free to go
